ATHLETIC TAPE

Sports Medicine Athletic Tapes are an everyday necessity for physiotherapists & certified athletic trainers. They include taping supplies such as non-elastic, stretch and pre-wrap tapes.

Athletic tape and wraps are often better to stabilize a joint then a brace would be since braces worn for for more than a day or two risk weakening the muscles so they are more susceptible to injury. Always ask a physical therapist as to their recommendation for what to use for aching elbow, wrist and knee joints.
